Can you check if you have full permissions over the renegade x folder?

You can do this by going to the folder where you installed renegade x, right click->properties->security. You will get something like this (It's in Dutch so don't mind that):

Send a screenshot of your permissions so I can check.

here?

Run Launcher.exe as Administrator via 'properties' and see if the update updates the game.

Default directory for 'Renegade X Launcher.exe' is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Renegade X\Launcher"

^^This. It should do it automatically, but just to be sure. It looks lik you don't have full ownership over the folder as a user. If this doesn't work, ill cook up a solution (Basically you'll need to change the permissions for your own user "Andrew Wood" to have read and write rights)

PS: @Madkill40Could you PM (Or just post them here, your shot) me a screenshot of your permissions as well? To check if they are the same as I already use a new version of the Launcher that doesn't need admin rights to run.

ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES [Read & execute, Read] Ticked.

SYSTEM [All] Ticked.

Administrators (Username\Administrators) [All] Ticked.

Users (Username\Users) [Read & execute, Read] Ticked.

 

And this is why I have 'Run this program as an administrator' ticked under the 'Compatibility' tab in 'Renegade X Launcher.exe' properties.

Well, the renx launcher should prompt for admin rights. But yea this is why you need to.

[Madkill40]

Maybe the prompt should just be "Cannot start launcher without 'Run this program as an administrator' enabled in 'Properties > Compatibility'" instead?

 

Pretty sure this can be avoided if Renegade X isn't installed in the primary Program Files  (x86) directory.

Makes sense as to why some people get this and some people do not get this.

Edit: Yepp. I was right.

Yepp.

Double-Post: Wooo

So! If you are reinstalling or are a first time user downloading Renegade X you have two options when installing.

A) The hassle-free way. 

Install Renegade X into a custom directory, instead of the default "C:\Program Files (x86)\", 

Example: Installing Renegade X into "A:\Retro\Renegade X" 

And your hassle-free result should appear as below:

Or...

B) Install Renegade X into the default directory. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Renegade X"

Go into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Renegade X\Launcher" directory.

Right-Click on 'Renegade X Launcher.exe' [See below]

After you tick the box for "Run this program as an administrator" click 'Apply', then click "OK".

Double-click Renegade X Launcher.exe

You should be good to go.

Enjoy.

But wait. The launcher should have the adminrights request on by default. @Madkill40does your launcher not have this? you shouldn't need to do all that stuff you mentioned (Even though its nicely done)

-Edit-

The MSI installer installs a launcher that requests adminrights before launch, that's the sole reason I implemented it in the first place... To get rid of these errors while I search for a solution (Which is done and scheduled for next launcher update)

[Madkill40]

The only thing I mention to do is to tick 'Run this program as an administrator' and that's only IF you've installed Renegade X into Program Files (x86).

This is the case on Windows 10, because Program Files (x86) requires administrator privs.

I just downloaded the .msi via Downloads > Renegade X. It didn't ask for permissions, but I wasn't installing into an area where the launcher needs administrator privs so maybe that's why it didn't ask?

Sent you a pm to further check stuff.

For @Andrrick I hope you can install the game now. If not just post again!
